| 1808438359 | What is a metabolism? | Being able to extract the necessary nutrients from food, in order to survive | 2 | |
| 1808438360 | What is homeostasis? | Being able to maintain stable conditions inside the organism | 3 | |
| 1808438361 | What evidence shows that seeds reproduce? | They carry an embryo which can be germinated and eventually develop into a plant | 4 | |
| 1808438362 | What evidence shows a seed metabolizes? | A seed has an embryo and in order for the embryo to stay alive it must gather the nutrients it needs, so there must be a metabolism | 5 | |
| 1808438363 | What evidence shows that a seed can grow/develop? | When germinated, the embryo can grow, and a plant forms | 6 | |
| 1808438364 | What evidence shows a seed has genetic information? | If you were to crush a seed and then spool the remains, you would be able to see the DNA within a microscope | 7 | |

| 1808438366 | What evidence shows a seed is capable of responding to stimuli? | When you put a seed into water, it responds by eventually growing/developing. Also, if you heat a seed, it speeds up the process of growth | 9 | |
| 1808438367 | What evidence shows a seed can die? | You can conduct an experiment where you heat 10 seeds and leave the other seeds normal. You put all 20 seeds into water and wait until they grow.

| 1808438395 | When was Darwin born? | February 12th, 1809 | 58 | |
| 1808438396 | Where was Darwin born? | Shewsbury, England | 59 | |

| 1808438399 | How did Darwin die? | Heart failure, probably from a disease given to him during his visit to South America | 62 | |
| 1808438400 | What was the controversy between natural selection and creationism? | Creationist believed God had created everything on Earth and that everything had stayed the same or a new species was born opposed to natural selection where species are thought to have evolved | 63 | |
| 1808438401 | How did this affect Darwin? | He was a very religious person, and felt that publishing his works on natural selection worked against God | 64 | |
| 1808438402 | Can individuals evolve? | NO, individuals receive variations, but only species can evolve | 65 | |
| 1808438403 | What were Darwin's five conclusions? | 1. Natural variation happens among individuals of a population 2. The variation is heritable 3. More are born than can survive 4. Only the fittest individuals survive 5. The ones with the favorable traits (adaptations) have greater reproductive success and more representatives in future generations | 66 | |
| 1808438404 | How does natural selection work? | Over years as factors in the environment or habitat change, certain traits either become adapted or are lost to a species | 67 | |
| 1808438405 | What is a good example of natural selection? | The finches in the Galapagos Islands: Finches have adopted different forms of beaks in order to eat the food they need | 68 | |
| 1808438406 | What did Thomas Malthus find? | The food/resources grew linearly or arithmetically while population grew exponentially | 69 | |
| 1808438407 | How did Malthus influence Darwin? | If Malthus's theory was correct, humans would then have to adapt to the new amount of resources and try to survive, so it helped him discover survival of the fittest | 70 | |
| 1808438408 | What did Jean Baptiste Lamarck find? | He said that individuals with certain traits can survive, while other individuals lacking these traits can't | 71 | |
| 1808438409 | How did Lamarck influence Darwin? | It made Darwin think about how the environment affected the species, and that the individuals with favorable traits reproduce stronger offspring and survive longer | 72 | |
| 1808438410 | What did Charles Lyell and James Hutton find? | Theory of Uniformitarianism- geological forces have stayed the same throughout the history of the Earth proving the Earth is very old | 73 | |
| 1808438411 | How did Lyell and Hutton influence Darwin? | Darwin believed evolution took too long and the Earth was relatively young, so evolution couldn't have happened. Now that he knew Earth was actually really old, he began to think evolution was possible. | 74 | |
| 1808438412 | What did Alfred Russel Wallace find? | He discovered natural selection in the Malayan Archipelago | 75 | |
| 1808438413 | How did Wallace influence Darwin? | It affirmed Darwin that natural selection was real because another scientist had discovered the same concept on his own | 76 | |
| 1808438414 | What was a pushing factor for Darwin to release his findings? | The letter from Alfred Wallace | 77 | |
| 1808438415 | How do the finches explain Darwin's Theory of Evolution? | 1. Certain finches received variations in their beaks while others didn't 2. Once a few of the beaks were changed, the genes were passed down to their offspring 3. Many finches were born, but many ended up dying 4. Only the finches that received the variations were able to survive and get the food they needed 5. Finches that received beaks that allowed them to extract food allowed them to survive and reproduce stronger offspring | 78 | |
| 1808438416 | What was important about Peter and Rosemary Grant? | They were able to notice that the beak depth evolved once drought arrived in the Galapagos Islands, describing micro-evolution. | 79 | |
| 1808438417 | What is allopatric speciation? | When a geographical barrier forces a species to adapt into 2 new species | 80 | |
| 1808438418 | What is sympatric speciation? | When a species separates from each other within the same geographical area and adapts into 2 new species | 81 | |
| 1808438419 | What is a variation? | a natural changes in genes (brown hair, height, skin color, etc.) | 82 | |
| 1808438420 | What is natural selection? | When species either adapt or "discontinue" certain traits because of changes in the environment | 83 | |
| 1808438421 | What were the different finches that received variations in their bills? | 1. Seed Eaters 2. Fruit Eaters 3. Tool users 4. "Vampire" beaks | 84 | |
| 1808438422 | What is evolution? | The gradual increase in variation of traits through generations | 85 | |
| 1808438423 | What is adaptive radiation? | When a species is forced to quickly adapt into 2 or more new species because of a sudden change in the environment | 86 | |
| 1808438424 | What are the prime examples of adaptive radiation? | 1. Finches in the Galapagos Islands 2. Drosophila and Scaptomyza (fruit flies) in Hawaii 3. Cichlids (fish) in Lake Victoria | 87 | |
| 1808438425 | What happened to the Cichlids in Lake Victoria? | Due to a loss in water depth, the lake split into multiple ponds making the fish adapt to their new and smaller environments | 88 | |
| 1808438426 | What is the difference between spore plants and seed plants? | Seed plants are ubiquitous | 89 | |
| 1808438427 | How did the seed evolve, allowing it to remain dormant? | 1. Developed a protective coat allowing the embryo to withstand extreme temperatures, the PH of animal guts, and droughts 2. Also Developed nutritive tissue which gives nutrients to the embryo until the seed finds the right temperature and environment | 90 | |
| 1808438429 | What kind of seeds do angiosperms produce? | Covered seeds | 91 | |
| 1808438430 | What kind of seeds do gymnosperms produce? | "Naked" seeds | 92 | |
